Project Overview

The Green River Demand Management and Resilience Project is part of a large-scale pilot effort to develop projects and strategies that can free up additional water for federal reservoirs, shore up water supply for Arizona and Nevada, and simultaneously implement nature-based solutions that can achieve long-term environmental benefits to mitigate climate change impacts. The project relies on partnerships between Trout Unlimited (TU) and ranchers in the Green River watershed, …

The Green River Demand Management and Resilience Project is part of a large-scale pilot effort to develop projects and strategies that can free up additional water for federal reservoirs, shore up water supply for Arizona and Nevada, and simultaneously implement nature-based solutions that can achieve long-term environmental benefits to mitigate climate change impacts. The project relies on partnerships between Trout Unlimited (TU) and ranchers in the Green River watershed, WY to accomplish two key actions: 1) Implement multi-year demand management projects to conserve water and increase water delivery to Colorado River reservoirs 2) Construct Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs) and similar aggradation structures (collectively BDAs) to improve hydrologic function, water infiltration, and habitat. Other structures will include Large Woody Debris (LWD) jams, and One Rock Dams (ORDs).
